About
Codex Sinaiticus (designated א or 01 in the Gregory-Aland system) is a monumental Greek manuscript from the mid-4th century AD, making it one of the oldest and most significant witnesses to the Bible. Famously rediscovered by Constantin von Tischendorf at St. Catherine's Monastery, Mount Sinai, its importance is hard to overstate.
Remarkably, it's one of the earliest known complete copies of the New Testament. It also preserves substantial parts of the Old Testament (in the ancient Septuagint translation) and includes two other early Christian texts: the Epistle of Barnabas and the Shepherd of Hermas.
Unlike critical editions compiled from many manuscripts, Sinaiticus offers the invaluable perspective of a single, major ancient codex, providing a direct view of the biblical text from over 1600 years ago. Its age and extensive contents make it foundational for textual criticism and the creation of accurate modern translations.
